Having been lobbied by every health care interest for many years in government, I’m often asked who the biggest Bond villains are in health care. It’s the fake charity tax exempt hospitals raping and pillaging their communities. Hands down, not even close. Even worse than PBMs, the runner up.

The non-profit healthcare system is so complex there’s now non-profits to help patients ACCESS the nonprofit charity care our taxes subsidize. That’s because these hospitals want the charity care FUNDING for CEO salaries, Super Bowl commercials, and everything but charity care.

Joe Rogan watches in disbelief as a video reveals America’s “nonprofit” hospitals actually rake in $45,000,000,000 in profit every year. ROGAN: “Motherf*ckers.” One CEO at NYU Langone paid himself $15,300,000 a year. Other CEOs paid themselves $4,500,000 while nurses made about $70,000 a year. P. DAVIS JONES: “A congressman recently described some nonprofit hospitals as ‘hedge funds with hospital beds,’ and I was like, ‘I bet they are.’” “The total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023 was $1.3 trillion. Nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.” “A study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals found that 86% of them provided LITTLE TO NO charity.” “It goes to executives, these CEOs getting paid about $4.5 million a year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about 70K.” “Here’s a guy, Robert [Grossman], at a hospital in New York who paid himself $15.3 million a year. Nonprofit hospital.”

They didn’t defund red state hospitals directly. They just slow-walked the paperwork until the hospitals died on their own. That’s how entrenched bureaucrats kill communities they don’t like — quietly, with a pen, and zero accountability. CMS career staff did EXACTLY that.

It’s called Defined Contribution. “Can’t we just increase the consumers pay and let them choose? Wouldn’t that take one more intermediary out of the mix and give the consumer/employee greater agency?”

BREAKING: Haitian man sentenced to prison for a $58 million healthcare scheme exploiting the 340B drug discount program. The fraudster used fake patients and fake prescriptions through a nonprofit clinic to steal from Medicare and Medicaid, using the proceeds to purchase a $2.5M mansion, a Bentley, and multiple Mercedes.

Medicare for All is gaining even more support! These organizations know that our current healthcare system is broken and that healthcare should be a human right.
